Portrait of Dr. Carlos Pineda III, Co-Founder and Physical Therapist at The PT People

He co-founded the clinic he wanted to work in

Dr. Carlos Pineda III is a Doctor of Physical Therapy and a co-founder of The PT People.

Before this building, he spent 14 years as a Director of Rehabilitation in skilled nursing homes. That is 14 years of the hardest version of this work, with the oldest and most complicated cases.

He is passionate about serving others and helping them live to their highest potential. Here that looks like a cause-first evaluation, one-on-one care every visit, and a plan with an endpoint.

“It’s just my age” is a diagnosis nobody made

You slowed down for a reason. A fall you did not mention. Stairs you started taking one at a time. A knee that decided where you sit at Thanksgiving.

None of that is proof your independence is over. It is proof something needs looking at, by someone who has spent a career looking at exactly this.

Nobody regrets starting too early. Talk to a specialist, or contact us and ask us anything first.
